I was not really excited about oyster tasting when I read it on the itinerary.
Turned out to be a fabulous day!!
Stopped at Ston.
But first of all we had this magnificent view of the defensive stone wall surrounding the town and going up over the mountain ... Out of sight.
Then all onto this small boat.
A small ( strong) drink started the proceedings as we chugged out to look at old oyster beds and new oyster beds.
Now, I missed which was which.
Fascinating story and history to it all though.
Been happening for centuries.
It was so much fun on the boat.
Absolutely everyone was laughing and talking.
Then we pulled up next to an old raft and they pulled ropes up out of the water covered in oyster shells and proceeded to open them and serve them on plates.
There were mussels as well.
And as many as you could eat.
Much discussion about are you having some?
And ...
No I did not.
They were still alive.
( I could hear them screaming!)
I know people will say I should have.
But I couldn't.
Cooked ?
Oh, yes.
I can do that.
This?
No way.
So people were thrilled.
More to go round.
Quite a few didn't.
But we laughed and took photos.
( The wine helped.)
Back on the boat to the most beautiful outdoor restaurant overlooking the water.
We were here about 2 hours.
I thought of you Greg, Daryl and Emily.
You would have all absolutely LOVED this!!!
All those oysters!!
Great day.
So relaxing.
Then onto Dubrovnik!!

Andrew Browning Hi Carolyn,Its 9.25 Sunday morning in overcast Melbourne, had breakfast – coffee & toast.Ready for the day, was having a day in the city playing tourist but I’ve changed my mind.Mmmmm what will I do, yes check if there is an entry!Yep!And…..Oh?I’ve missed this one…….How did that happen?Onto it now………….yep I'd give the oyster tasting a miss as well haha. Had to laugh, I can imagine the strong drink and small boat chugging through the water filled with laughter, sound like a great group. Fresh oysters direct from the bed, some people would be delighted.But I’m with you!!!!! That’s some lunch, 2 hours - bet the conversations were fabulous, and an outdoor restaurant on the water !!The “oyster time” photo is very colourful, I can see the fun.
